Adrien Brody Threw His Gum to Georgina Chapman Before Oscars Speech

Adrien Brody was caught throwing something at his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman before taking home the award for Best Actor in Leading Role at the 2025 Oscars.

Upon being named the category’s winner at the Sunday, March 2, awards show for his role in The Brutalist, Brody, 51, shared a sweet hug and kiss with Chapman, 48, and celebrated with costars Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce and director Brady Corbet. As he started walking up the stage’s steps, Brody notably turned around, took his gum out of his mouth and tossed it to Chapman.

Chapman, for her part, ran closer to the stage in order to catch her boyfriend’s gum while he accepted one of the night’s biggest honors. (Brody previously won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Pianist in 2003.)

“If I may just humbly begin by giving thanks for the tremendous outpouring of love that I have felt from this world and every individual that has treated me with respect and appreciation,” Brody began in his acceptance speech, noting that his second Academy Award brings some “perspective” with it.

“No matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away,” he explained. “And I think what makes this night so special is the awareness of that and the gratitude that I have to still do the work that I love.”

Later in his speech, Brody revealed that Chapman’s children call him “Popsy” while giving them a special shout-out. Chapman shares her daughter India, 14, and son Dashiell, 11, with her ex-husband, disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.

“I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth, but my sense of value and my values,” Brody gushed. “And her beautiful children, Dash and India, I know it’s been a roller coaster but thank you for accepting me into your life. And Popsy’s coming home a winner.”

Brody and Chapman began dating in 2019, two years after Chapman filed for divorce from Weinstein, 72, amid his sexual assault scandal. The exes finalized their divorce in 2021.

Last month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Brody and Chapman are “very happy and secure in their relationship,” adding, “She loves supporting him at awards shows. She’s so proud of his talent; his humor and talent were what drew her to him.”

The source went on to tell Us that Brody and Chapman’s friends “love them as a couple” and think they “make each other better people.” The insider also noted that Brody “truly worships Georgina, and she is so in love with him.”

In addition to sharing sweet PDA with Chapman at Sunday’s Oscars, Brody was spotted posing for a pic with his fellow Best Actor in a Leading Role nominees — Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes and Sebastian Stan — inside the awards ceremony.

Us also saw Chapman making her partner laugh at a bar inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, helping to ease Brody’s nerves before his big win. While Chapman’s drink of choice was white wine, Brody appeared to be drinking tequila on the rocks.
